I know this topic has probably been hashed out before, but I'd like to know what people here think the best (preferably low cost) DTP software is. There are a few under the $200 range, such as Aldus's Personal Press and Timeworks Publish it Easy but which gives the most bang for the buck? Thanks for the help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'll be back."

Check out your university computerware place. Ours sells Aldus PageMaker 4.0 for $157. It's the real thing. Ken Kreshtool kik@wjh12.harvard.edu

I saw a demo of their Beta Macintosh version and liked it quite alot. Depending on what exactly you need or want, it is quite a lot of bang for the buck. But then, for the right person so does a Ferrari. (e.g., Interleaf is not cheap) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick L.
